Let time taken by first pipe = x min. So, time taken by second pipe = x+3 min. Now, Cistern fill in 1hr by first pipe= 1/x And cistern fill in 1hr by second pipe= 1/x+3 So, Acc. To que. = 1/x + 1/x+3 = 1/40/13 = x+x+3/x^2+3x = 13/40. (LCM) =2x+3/x^2+3x = 13/40 =13x^2+39x = 80x+120 =13x^2- 41x- 120=0 On solving this equation we get, x=5 and x=-24/13 It is not possible So, Time taken by first pipe=5 min. And time taken by second pipe=5+3 =8 min.
